Any negative repercussions if 48000Hz is used for VCD?

[Styler2K]

Hey guys,

Will I have any issues encoding an MPG (from an AVI) if I extract the audio at the source frequency of 48000Hz rather than the 44100Hz that all the guides suggest when the intent is a VCD and not a DVD?

Thanks.

VCD must be 44.1Khz.If you try to burn the VCD with 48Khz Nero,etc will reencode or give an error.

vcd dvd your fine. vcd cd = 44.1. just the way most players read the discs is all.

[Styler2K]

Hmmm... I just burnt a VCD and the entire disc has a subtle feeling of slow motion'ness to it. Like the entire video clip is being run in slow motion. However, it's very subtle. To the point where there doesn't even seem to be any sync issues. Could this be a result of the audio having been 48000Hz? If not, rather than starting another topic, any ideas as to what may have gone wrong?

Thanks again!

probably your dvd player trying to compensate...burn the vcd cd with 44.1 audio

It's playing your 48kHz audio at 44.1kHz, and syncing the video to that, so every will be about 8% slower.

[Styler2K]

Hey Sulik, every what will be 8% slower?

I'm just saying that if you encode at 48kHz instead of 44.1, the movie may play slower (the slow motion problem you're describing).

You MUST encode the audio at 44.1kHz for VCD.

I am encoding VCDs and SVCDs only with 48 kHz. Have no problem with playback on my DVD player.
